Pat,
I'm glad the "cookies" made it there in one piece. I already took a bunch of pics but didn't want to put them up until you received them. Hope ya like them, better yet, hope a couple of the troops like them.

I also need to point out that a friend of mine, Pat Haeckel, custom painted those blanks for free. He painted them in Pearl White with extra blue pearl in the clear coats. It's very subtle but there and visible in the right light. He provided all the materials and labor since he knew they were going to the troops. Randy.

beautiful work Randy and we do appreciate it.

while I was volunteering at the rodeo yesterday we were privileged to play host to 1500 soldiers from Fort Hood that had come in by buses to to enjoy the carnival and rodeo.

whose knows, after their tour of duties we may be presenting a rods to some of them, I hope not, but...

I need to keep working on the "Y'all thing. Every time I say it someone directs me where I can rent a large orange and white truck.

The rods are 6.5', one's heavy the other extra heavy. American Tackle Turbos, hypalon grips, Aftco ice blue reel seat and gimbal. Fun builds.

I also saw these rods today at our Rod Building class...Pat brought them up...THEY ARE INCREDIBLE! I have alway admired your work from afar, but to see them in person was totally an honor. Stunning work and even a bigger jesture by donating them. We need to see how we want to put them to use. What a fun idea that is!!!!!

Thanks again Randy!
